Highlighted AGA events include a “Media Innovation and Transformation” forum presented by Jimi Matthews, CEO of the South African Broadcasting Corp., as well as a seminar on the media’s role in disaster risk presented by members of Caribbean Disaster and Emergency Management Agency.
Other highlighted events are a feature on digital radio standards put on by Ruxandra Obreja, chair of Digital Radio Mondiale and half-day seminar on “Doing Business in Cuba.”
